"That is...," said Ivy.
"That is...?" eagerly repeated the words Ivy said again.
Ivy takes a heavy breath, and continues her story, "That is my mom took me to see a fortune teller lady."
"What? You had seen a fortune teller. But you don't believe in this kind of things." said Ria.
"Yeah, I know right. But what I heard made me believe it." said Ivy.
"What had you heard? And what did the fortune teller tell you about to make you anxious?" asked Ria.
Ivy starts to explain and answer Ria's questions. After a few minutes of Ivy explained, Ria shocks and at the same time she confuses.
"Wait, what if the fortune teller lady is a con artist and lied to your parents that she is the one by knowing their secret without their knowledge?" asked Ria suspiciously.
"You could be right, and I asked the same question to my parents. But they told they didn't tell anyone even didn't tell to their both parents about it. So, it's impossible for the fortune teller to know about it." Explained Ivy seriously.
"So, do you believe what she told?" questioned Ria.
"Maybe and maybe not." said Ivy as she was also in confusion.
"You mean 50/50?" asked Ria.
"Yeah. Don't even know who I am going to marry between the two people I'm going to meet in the future, even I don't know who it is and then she also told not to go any places which I'm not familiar with. When she mentioned it, the first thing came to my mind is Michael's vineyard, which we planned to visit this weekend." Told Ivy.
"It could be a coincidence, right?" said Ria
"Maybe, but I don't think so. I keep asking myself do I need to go or just stay home for a while as she said, not going any unfamiliar places." said Ivy.
"Ivy, we planned to go because we want to see the truth of Richard's story—The Critter Forest. We need to see it by ourselves to confirm!" Ria is convincing Ivy.
"I know, I know. What if something happens there, and I didn't tell the truth to my mom what the fortune teller lady told? If she came to know, I can't imagine it what she will do." Anxiously said Ivy.
"Well then, I will be with you around the time we at Michael' vineyard and I will be unsure your safety. So, nothing will happen and after we do with vineyard, we won't go to any unfamiliar places. Be safe for a while until you see the fortune teller again." Ria's trying hard to convincing Ivy.
"Alright, I trust you with this matter." convinced Ivy.
"Alright, that's my girl. By the way, when she said you are going to meet two people and you will choose your partner. So, that's mean the choice is yours and both men are yours's destine. Is it so romantic?" said Ria.
"You think it's romantic but for me, I don't think so..." told Ivy and grab her drink.
"You are just admitting it, Ivy. You must have thought one of the men must be Michael, right? asked Ria teasingly.
Ivy spits her drink by hearing what Ria said. Ria grabs a tissue paper and gives to Ivy.
Ivy wipes her mouth by using the tissue paper and puts her drink on the table.
"Are you?" asked Ria playfully.
"NOPE, I DIDN'T!!" said loud Ivy nervously.
"Oh, you didn't. Of course, you said once you don't have a crush toward Michael." said Ria as a conformationally.
Ivy grabs her drink on the table and takes a sip. She thinks, 'I'm sure that I am not in love with him after what he did. But I'm not sure what will I feel when I see him after so long. Hope my heart will be strong.'
Ivy breaths out and said, "Come on girl, we need to get on bed now. Or else we will be late for work tomorrow."
"I hate it, Ivy. I don't want to sleep now. Let us chat for a while, please." Ria pursuing Ivy with her puppy eyes.
"It won't work on me, Andria. If it was Riche, he might have agreed with you." said Ivy teasingly.
"You're right, and thanks to god for help me find my destined soulmate. And soon you will find your both destined men." said Ria happily.
"Think about it. Give me a chill. The God must play with my life, and my mom is so happy and excited about the news." said Ivy worriedly.
"Don't worry, Ivy. Here you got your lucky charm. I will always be beside you and root for the man you choose. Whoever is it, even it is Michael. So, you have my approval." said Ria proudly.
"Hope you are not changing what you are saying now." said Ivy doubted.
"Yeah, yeah. You can believe my words. And I'm so excited about we are going to visit the vineyard and the Critter Forest." said Ria happily.
"That's right. Hope everything will go well for us. Now let's get to the bed." said Ivy.
"Alright, Ma'am!" said Ria.
Both start to clean up the mess from the living room. After a while, they are getting ready for bed. As usual, Ivy gets her night routine and applying night skin care.
Andria, while watching Ivy, and asks, "I want to know this?"
"What you want to know?" asked back Ivy while applying the night skin care.
"While we are in high school, you don't have interest and don't even care about how your skin is and, of course, your skin is flawless. It still is, but why are you so interest in it now?" asked Ria.
"Am I? I got interest from our college time, don't you know?" said Ivy with an awkward smile.
"Is it?" asked Ria, confusedly.
"Yeah, of course you don't remember. Because all you remember is how you are dating with your boyfriend and spent most of the time with him." said Ivy.
"I still care about you, you know." said Ria.
"Alright, alright. Let's sleep now. Goodnight, lady. Dream about your boyfriend," said Ivy teasingly.
"Haha, goodnight. Have a wonderful dream of your future partner." Replied Ria.
